Many people in Denver aren't really sure what body waxing is. They hear the words Body and Waxing and the only thing that comes to mind is a Brazilian wax because they've heard it discussed so many time in the movies or in the celebrity gossip columns. But there's a lot more to body waxing than that one small area so I thought I'd explain some of the other ways that waxing is used for hair removal so you can maybe understand it's benefits a little better.

Women typically use waxing as a way to remove hair from eyebrows, the hairline, their lips or chin, their underarms, legs, feet and toes. Waxing is a much better method of hair removal because it removes the hair clear down to the follicle and leaves your skin hair free for a much longer period of time than simply shaving or plucking. Shaving can also irritate your skin but waxing leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth as a baby's bottom.
More and more men are also opting to use waxing to remove body hair and they use it in the same areas as women but they're also interested in removing arm, back, and chest hair. A lot of athletes prefer to remove body hair before competitions and then there are other men who just prefer their appearance better without all of that body hair.

For both men and women, when you shave the hair from you body it grows back quickly and it's usually very dark and coarse. This is because you're cutting it off bluntly in the middle. But when you wax, you actually pull the follicle out from the root so that when the new hair does start to grow back it's tapered on the end which makes it much softer and finer. So each time you wax, the hair grows back a little lighter and finer.

So you see, waxing isn't just for that one area of the body, although Brazilian and Hollywood waxes are certainly the trend these days. But for anyone who is looking for a longer lasting method of hair removal, that won't irritate the skin the way shaving and depilatories do, then waxing is the best, least expensive solution. Which is why more and more people in Denver are throwing away those razors and scheduling appointments for body waxing.
